Footnotes

  • A  Hatta announced his resignation from the Vice Presidency on 26 July 1956, effective 1 December 1956.[4] President Sukarno had moved the country increasingly toward autocracy and authoritarianism. Hatta, a proponent of democracy, advised President Sukarno not to take that path, but his recommendations were ignored. He decided to resign, as he believed he could not work with the president.
  • B  President Sukarno did not name Hatta's succesor as Vice President. In December 1965, there were calls for a Vice President to be named to assist Sukarno with the fallout of the 30 September Movement and General Suharto's attempts to take over the government.[5] It was not until the New Order regime of President Suharto that the Vice President post became filled again.
    • C  Vice President Hamengkubuwono IX rejected his nomination for Vice President by the People's Consultative Assembly in March 1978, due to poor health.[6] President Suharto believed that Hamengkubuwono IX had betrayed him by not seeking reelection.
